Sakai Kikumori knives are crafted by Kawamura Hamono, a family-operated cutlery company renowned for its production of high-quality Japanese and Western-style kitchen knives. Situated in Sakai, one of Japan's oldest and most esteemed knife-making centers, Kawamura Hamono has been crafting knives since the 1920s. Over the years, they have cultivated enduring partnerships with some of Sakai's finest blacksmiths and sharpeners, ensuring a tradition of excellence and craftsmanship in every knife they produce.

Crafted from Blue2 steel, carbon steel, renowned for its remarkable edge retention and sharpness, this knife belongs to the esteemed Blue Steel family of Japanese steels. However, it's essential to note that due to its high-carbon content, proper care and maintenance are crucial to prevent corrosion, as Blue 2 steel is not stainless steel.
